From the artisan cheesemakers who created Brillo di Treviso comes Tartufino Speziato. It is a soft-textured cheese whose surface is coated with a treatment of extra virgin olive oil, natural black truffle flavoring and many spices, especially cinnamon and nutmeg. Its aromatic characteristics and delectable flavor make it an excellent cheese for entertaining.

I was delighted to be able to purchase the Tartufino Speziato as I had first tasted it in Australia. I love it

Trufle delight

Purchased three different truffle cheeses from Igourmet. This cheese by far had the most intense truffle flavor and the added spices on the outside was amazing. If you like truffles, this cheese won't disappoint!

truffles & cheese - yummy

The "coating" on this is better than the ash coating usually found on this type cheese.

Amazing smooth texture

This is a hit with wine before dinner. It just melts in your mouth.

A worthy alternative to Sottocenere

I purchased this from iGourmet as a substitute for Sottocenere (another rich black truffle infused cheese from the same dairy), which I am inordinately fond of. It is softer in texture and has somewhat different "dust" on the rind. Serve it very thin with a drop of fig molasses. Then sit back and watch your guests' pupils dilate in ecstasy.

Good but not great

The crusting wasn't tasteful, just powdery.

From Standard to Sublime

While Truffle with any cheese is a winning combination, it has become a standard amongst small cheese houses and the cheese-lover in general, and perhaps is given the "Great Cheese!" assessment gratis. This is not the case with this cheese! Building on the already truffle-aroma essence infused into the body of the product, the artists coat the rind with aromatic spices. The dominant flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg empower the taste to new heights. An excellent cheese to introduce to the cheese novice and the cheese-phile alike. Try with mild fruit, light crackers.

Lovely cheese

I stumbled upon this cheese quite by accident in a cheese shop and it has become my favorite cheese. The combination of truffle and nutmeg is exquisite! While the cheese itself is not especially notable, the coating is amazing! I like to shave off thin slices and eat it alone.

Perfect for the holidays!

We first had this wonderful cheese at Restaurant Gary Danko in San Francisco. It has a delightful flavor of truffles and warm winter spices. Perfect for a cheese course starter, but just as much at home on a dessert cheese plate.
